a bit longer??? really?? we are talking about an Year FFS
As I mentioned, I don't follow Ripples that closely, so maybe the average update length had been shorter, (I'm guessing around 4-6 months), but honestly 11 isn't that crazy when compared to the other big hitters in the site (Dik,Pale Carnations, Eternum,etc), and we haven't even played the update, maybe the wait ends up being worth it and brings a lot of meaningful content, or maybe it doesn’t, which at that point I would see a more valid reason to complain.
If you ain't got no skin in the game buy either supporting or have purchased it, why does it matter so much? Go play something else, there are 1,000's of games to do.
It's funny how common this is, they don't support the developer, yet they get to play the game for free, and then come in the thread of a game they haven’t supported in any way to demand for the update to come sooner?

, literally go play any of the other 1000+ games in the site, whether supporters feel scammed or not isn’t up to freeloaders to decide.
